Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> make[2]: Entering directory `/build/zsh-NjW5O_/zsh-4.3.12/obj/Doc'
> if [ xtexi2pdf != x ]; then \
> 	  texi2pdf ../../Doc/zsh.texi; \
> 	else \
> 	  PDFTEX=pdfetex texi2dvi --pdf ../../Doc/zsh.texi; \
> 	fi
> /usr/bin/texi2dvi: 144: /usr/bin/texi2dvi: Syntax error: Bad function name
> make[2]: *** [zsh.pdf] Error 2

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
